Bearden is one of Knoxville’s oldest and best-known communities, with an economically and culturally complex background and deep roots in the 19th century. The community remains a popular place to live, work, and shop, and includes multiple landmarks of more than local significance.

Except for some short monographs and personal memoirs, Bearden has never been the subject of a comprehensive history, description, or overview in book form.

The 200-page, full-color guidebook, written by Jack Neely, and designed by the awarding winning team at Robin Easter Design complements KHP’s best seller: Historic Knoxville: The Curious Visitor’s Guide to its Stories & Places.

Price is $24.95 plus tax via our online store

Also available in Bearden at:
